I am very new to Rangies, although I did drive Landrovers (FFR) in the army for years.

Mine comes from my brothers mates (He lives in the USA) and I have also heard it used here in OZ. When I bought a Rangie, they asked why I would buy a car, that the queen uses to cart her corgie around in.

Hence Corgie Carrier.

In America, Corgi is spelt Corgie and I didn't check the spelling before I used it here.

Avatar is my first rangie, currently in pieces, being converted into a hybrid bush pig.

when I joined, got to the part about choosing a name, the first thing i thought of was the colour i was painting my series. thats it honest.

But with the car names:

I did have "Ol-Ute".. Fitted well as the 1955 107" Truck Cab sat next to Ol-Mate in the drive way at home. Yep - it just had to be Ol-Ute.

Next came "Shorty" ... purely because the little 80" was shorter than Ol-Mate. Seems that I had to remind myself of this fact as it had taken me ages to find an 80" that I could buy

Well,i will ad my bit as well,my wife actually needed a password for something many years ago,& as our surname is Barry,she came up with Scarry.
So when i signed up on here,couldnt think of anything,so thought i would use it again.

And no its not scaaaary,its scarry
